The Cloud Industry Forum (CIF) is a membership IT trade body established to promote the trust and transparency of cloud based software and services. Under the direction of our members CIF has three main priorities:● Discuss, engage and partner within the cloud supplier community to ensure thought leadership and market direction. ● To drive a common and public level of transparency about the capability and substance of Cloud Service Providers through a process of self-certification to an EU recognised Code of Practice.● Acknowledging the digital skills gap, CIF has built a Professional Membership program enabling IT professionals to develop best practice of cloud adoption.
